SAN FRANCISCO, United States (AFP) - [size=-1]San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds has used performance-enhancing drugs, according to quotes from his personal weight trainer. [/size]The San Francisco Chronicle report said trainer Greg Anderson claimed in a recorded conversation last year that the slugger used an undetectable drug during the 2003 season. "The whole thing is, everything that I've been doing at this point, it's all undetectable," Anderson said in a recording provided to the newspaper. "See, the stuff I have, we created it, and you can't buy it anywhere else but you can take it the day of (the test), pee, and it comes up perfect." Bonds, who has frequently denied using steroids, hit 45 homers in 130 games in 2003. This past season, the 40-year-old batted .362 with 45 home runs and 101 RBI in 147 games and became only the third major leaguer to reach the 700-homer plateau in a career.

The 38-year-old Anderson is a defendant in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO) steroids conspiracy case, in which Bonds, along with Gary Sheffield and Jason Giambi of the New York Yankees, has testified. Anderson was charged with taking part in a steroid distribution ring that provided the substances to professional athletes. The federal probe of BALCO, a California nutritional supplement lab, has put MLB under scrutiny and was a key component to Congress passing The Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 on Monday. In 2001, Bonds set the major league record for home runs in a season with 73, eclipsing the mark of 70 reached by Mark McGwire three years earlier. He has won the National League Most Valuable Player award six times and is a favorite to win a seventh this year.

Better read it more closely. It says a person who prefers to remain anonymous and remain un identified ! In other words another quite meaningless statement !
Anderson continues to say that He has never provided steroids to Bonds. Until I see something that is factual and not just Bs, I will presume Bonds has never used steroids. Sammy Sosa has been caught red handed with a corked bat and now that testing for steroids is required, He is batting .251 ! Who is a steroid user ? My $$ is on Sosa.

Two people independently identified the voice as Bonds trainer. What more do you need, a signed confession? Bonds is a cheater and a dirtbag.

I really don't see what Sosa has to do with this. This thread is about Bonds. Kermit,you don't want people attacking Bonds because of insufficent evidence but you keep wanting to pile on Sosa without evidence. Sosa having a bad season to me is not any more evidence then you defending Bonds on heresay comments.

Red Eye,
Be serious Man ! You have told me many times that you feel there is little doubt that Sosa uses steroids as He has showed the entire world that He is a cheater.... didn't everyone view the cork scattered all over the field ? Now my friend. that is proof ! End of story... sosa is a dirt bag and a cheater !

Winky,
You didn't make sense months ago and you don't make sense now.
Since when do you know something that is sealed by law and both Bonds and his trainer has repeatedly denied ? Are you telling all of us that you have forbiden secred illegal Grand Jury information? Give me a break ! You knew nothing then for sure nor do you now ! When somesone comes up with some proof that Bonds used Steroids, I will change my opinion. Until then, I will simply consider him the greatest baseball player of our time !

My guess is that he gave Bonds a "homemade" steroid and Bonds may have actually believed that it was legal, not technically a steroid. He probably knew he was pushing the envelope, but maybe he was told it "wasn't illegal".

Bonds is a roider...say what you want about it. I saw enough of him in Shittsburgh to know that his sudden "increase" in body mass wasn't all the magic of San Francisco's weight training program. I don't see how anyone could deny that. The guy has a hard time moving around anymore as it is. I'm with Winky I can't believe anyone could debate this and believe that Barry isn't (or wasn't) roided up.

of course it doesn't. no question that sosa, bonds and many others were on the juice. wouldn't surprise me if 10-20% of the mlb was juicing as some point.

I still don't know what a cork bat has to do with steroids, two completely different subjects. Does this prove that he cheats yes, but in your "what would work in court theory " corked bats and bad years wouldn't convict him of Steroids anymore then heresay eveidence towards Bonds. That flimsy evidence wouldn't be allowed anymore then the allegations, rumors,etc against Bonds. Injuries cause bad years, and corked bats, are well corked bats, and you can go into all of the conspiracies you want about what caused them but its still not eveidence. Do I have my suspicions on both, yes I do, but like you with your boy, Bonds, I'll wait and see evidence on either of them before final judgement. Final analysis, If you want people not to convict Bonds of anything yet, you should do the same for Sosa, despite what you think. In my opinion ,your guilty of what your accusing everybody else of. :breakit:

great, a thread with a story and 13 guys who all say he did it. barry is my hero and you make him sound like some petty fool who needs performance enhancing drugs to perform.

"I'd like to buy a home in Boston. Yessum. It a good place, we live good us folk we have joy. yessum." - Barry Bonds, when asked how he felt about being a Red Sox player.

i said at the time i heard it from someone who knows. how it was obtained - no can say - but the person who told me is someone who is REALLY sharp and if they say bonds told the grand jury he took steroids then BONDS TOOK STEROIDS!

Some people are never going to believe Barry Bonds took steroids to break all the HR records. For the length of time it took me to write this, Barry's head grew another 1/4 inch.
